Automotive Honda EU generator -- which is the best oil temperature range rating?

AI Thread Summary
For the Honda EU 10i generator, the recommended oil temperature range suggests using 10W-30 oil, which is suitable for the current weather conditions. Some participants advise considering a 10W-40 oil in the future, especially since temperatures may approach the upper limits of the 10W-30 range. It is emphasized that following the manufacturer's manual is important for optimal performance and longevity of the generator. The discussion highlights the importance of selecting the right oil grade to ensure the generator's reliability. Proper oil selection is crucial for extending the life of the generator.

Why not follow the recommended guidance in the manual? Seems like 10W-30 is what you need.
 
It looks like the 10W30 should be a good choice, though you might want a 10W40 in the future since you're near the upper end of the temperature range for the 10W30.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
